State of Decay 2Welcome to the Game II
Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 3
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance5 vs 6
Welcome to the Game II leans harder on variance: Deep-web key locations and intruder events randomise every run
Optimization7 vs 6
State of Decay 2 leans harder on optimization: Base building, resource routing and survivor management drive survival
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
